Hi All, Can anyone tell me how to pass arguments to a PHP script from the command line? I know I need to use the -args option but how exactly, I have tried the following... /usr/bin/php myscript.php -args key=value but this does not work, the script executes but key is not available as $_GET["key"] in my script. Any pointers will be much appreciated.
